Accepting students for Fall 2027?
The program and its own page disagree. Someone at the program told us on September 18, 2026 that it is not decided yet for Fall 2027. Their page showed something else when we last read it. Both are here, with their dates — the program is the better source for what it intends, its page the better record of what was published.
What their own page showedYes. 4 faculty are listed as accepting new doctoral students for Fall 2027 as of October 13, 2026, taken from the program's own page and quoted below.

Status and faculty names on this page are read from the program’s own website and re-checked through the admissions season. Where the program publishes a sentence announcing who is accepting, that sentence is quoted above rather than summarised. The date beside each section is when we last read it — if you are deciding where to apply, confirm against the program page before you rely on it.
